* LoopholeAbuse: How Kazago removes Bok from command. While his official reason is that Bok had no intention of making a profit from the mission, that fact had been obvious from the minute that Bok handed over the ''Stargazer'' for free, meaning that Kazago could have removed him much sooner if he was really that bothered by not making any profit. With that in mind, he may have relieved Bok due to genuine moral outrage over his attempt at murder.

Or maybe he thought that there ''was'' an underlying plan for profit that his captain chose to not reveal at that time, and when he discovered that there really wasn't, he decided enough was enough.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When the Ferengi refer to Picard's involvement in the Battle of Maxia, Picard has no idea what they're talking about. The incident is actually quite notable in Picard's career: he was involved in a space battle in which he used a maneuver he was later named for and ultimately had to abandon his ship with all its crew. Not exactly something you forget about. But Picard doesn't connect that incident near Maxia to the unfamiliar name "Battle of Maxia" apparently because he wasn't aware that the enemy ship was Ferengi.

* EveryoneHasStandards: For all their flaws, even the Ferengi have outlawed the thought-makers. The Ferengi also prohibit acting out of revenge or petty self interest, especially when there is no profit to be had from it.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Kazago plays with this. At first he's a snarky {{Jerkass}} toward Riker, but when presented with irrefutable proof of Bok's plan, he quickly removes the [=DaiMon=] from command.

* DoppelgangerSpin: A scifi variation of the trope, thanks to how Warp technology works the "Picard Maneuver" can create an afterimage as the spacecraft in question warps ahead of its previous position allowing the light from its last position to reach the target just as the ship settles into its new position and the light from that new position reaches it too. for the target, it suddenly seems like they're dealing with two or more ships instead of one.

* LaymansTerms: When Data begins to explain how a checksum works to demonstrate how Picard's "confession" log was faked, Riker tells him, "I don't need a computer science lesson" to make him get to the point.
